audio research high gain mod in ss pre-amp

Mike,

I just added the two resistors for the 6db extra gain to my ARC LS15 (tube pre). It's probably the same mod with the same results. Sound quality is unchanged - no sonic difference that I could detect. The extra gain in real terms is marginal, based on the volume pot settings it doesn't seem to provide much more than 15-20% increased output. It still isn't enough for my application.

Rooze

Have a LS2 and have the opposite problem, too much gain. I never pass the 9 o'clock position. Is there a mod for this too w/o degrading sound?

thanks for the comeback.

i dont know of mods to decrease the volume, have you contacted audio research ? they are pretty informative on what whats and what doesnt.

thanks !!

mike
